HOW LOCKDOWN 3.0 IS DIFFERENT?

The extended lockdown will impose restrictions depending upon the level of the Covid-19 outbreak. The emphasis will be on shifting the Red Zone into Orange and Orange to Green. Each district has been classified either as red, orange, or green zones and the classification can be revised weekly.

“The relaxation to many industrial activities including industrial establishments in urban areas such as Special Economic Zones, industrial estates and industrial townships with access control within the red zone with restrictions, is absolutely in line with what Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) had been asking for and we especially welcome it,”

CII director general Chandrajit Banerjee.
